Yes, I was posting that more than a month ago, but Ebola has been around since 1976.
Ebola and the news isn’t brand new, and American labs have obviously been working it for many years
Here is a mention of our involvement for decades.
“Army Colonel James Cummings, a doctor and director of the Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System in the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, said the battle against the virus since the outbreak began in West Africa in March focuses on trying to stop disease transmission.
We had a large footprint in Africa, Cummings said of the Defense Departments response to the first Ebola cases reported in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire. Since that time, the Defense Department has answered numerous calls for assistance from the World Health Organization (WHO), nongovernmental organizations and ministries of heath and defense, he said.”
None of that says that “ebola is now curable and people shouldn’t be concerned when it is imported into the country—a country with an already overloaded public health system.”
